HOW TO
Incline Dumbbell Curl technique.
Use a load and range you can control consistently.

- Begin with the elbows extended and the shoulders relaxed.
- Curl by bending the elbows without driving them forward.
- Squeeze near the top while keeping the wrists neutral.
- Lower slowly to a comfortable long-muscle position.
